Excellent work, Lenny! During your construction pics, I wasn’t quite sure
what the end result was going to be. Would it be boxy? Would it be a flying
tube? Would it be flat and wedge like? It all looked very promising, but the
outcome was unclear.
Well boy did it come together! I think the mark of a successful large ship
is one that looks sleek and deliberate when viewed from afar and maintains
that cohesiveness when the details are revealed. The Kal does this
exceptionally well.
Many of the effective details have been mentioned upthread, but I would just
like to add I like the attention to the interior wall detailing. I have a
tendency to ‘shell build’, forgetting about the interior in favour of the
exterior. A failing of mine to be sure. You however have done an excellent
job of avoiding this pitfall...the shot of the interior of the warp pylon
comes to mind...and on an angle to boot!

Gil, thanks for the kind words! Interior detailing is really some of the
hardest to do, especially when it turns out that it is almost impossible to see
(much less photograph). The shower and bath room are like this, but also the
bunks and the gunstations. Part of the reason why I’m glad i took “during”
pictures, so they are viewable in that regard.
And I, too, was unsure about how it would turn out. Especially when
encountering pretty big problems with realizing my initial design. That’s the
fear with spaceships, they are such a effort in building, with such a real
possibility of some small mistake early on turning into huge problems later. it
would suck to spend three weeks building something only then to realize a fatal
flaw that requires extensive rebuilding.
thanks for the kind words!
